About American burnweed

Growing burnweed is wonderfully simple. It's an annual that comes back year after year through self-seeding, so you plant it once and it takes care of itself. Just give it a spot with decent sunlight and regular soil, and it thrives without complaint. You'll find yourself enjoying this cheerful native flower season after season with barely any work at all.
